Small White Specks Randomly Placed Show Up on Every Print



Problem: I am having a problem with small white specks randomly showing up on almost every print. I am feeding from the tray but fed one from the manual feed and a few still showed up.I am assuming the unit has accumulated dust or paper fragments. Any ideas on how best to go about cleaning the machine or eliminating the dust?

Resolution: Unclip the rear cover and pull it off, you will probably find it is full of paper dust. You can also see into the cassette feed mechanism and see if there is dust that needs vacuuming out. With one of the papers I use I have make sure I brush any paper dust off the edges of the stack of paper before putting it in the cassette. Otherwise I get major 'white speck' issues
